A Rnmnrkahle Cura.

Mrs. Charles Hart, of Amityville, Suffolk
county, N. V, writes as follows Of the romark-
able cure of peculiar pain in her back;
Four years ago was attacked with severe
pain In the spine, close to the small Of my
back. 1t was especially painful going up or
down stairs. Aiter using over ten remedies
and consulting half dozen physicians with.
out any benefit, my husband applied one ALI
cocks Porous Plaster, directly over the seat of
pain. kept II on week and fancied was
n little better, but was not quite sure. then
put on a fresh one. At the end OF Il week my
husband noticed that the plaster was puifod
up in the middle, Upon taking the plaster OIL
hole about the size OF a Quill was found,
which discharged yellow matter very freely.
Another plaster was put on with good sized
hole in the center of it, to enable the matter
to escape. The plaster appeared TO draw with
great power, and the discharge increased
every twenty-four hours, a little. At least a
pint of matter was discharged from the wound
before got entirely we'll, which was exactly
five weeks from the time put the first plaster
on. ! used altogether eleven plasters, and
thanks to them, have not since had an ache
or pain in my back.

others not legally bound for their support pro-
vided that no pension allowed under this act
shall commence prior to Its passage.
Section 2 provides that all persons who

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
MEXICAN PENSION BILL FINALLY
PASSED BY CONGRESS.
Good Progress Made by Both Houses
Many Bills Passed-Relief of Depend
ent Parents and INDECENT Soldiers
and Sailors.

After routine business, ON motion Of Mr..
Sawyer, the Senate proceeded to consider
and pass pension bills on the calendar.
Forty pension bills principally House
bills) were passed; and then the pension ap-
preparation bill (appropriating 5000, ,00O)
was taken up and passed, with only few
immaterial amendments.
The army appropriation bill was then
taken up.
The bill was passed with few unimpor-
tant amendments.
The House bill for the relief OF Elon II.
Marsh, of Battle Creek. Mich, to validate
a patent for Improvement in steam engine
valve gear, was taken up and passed.
The Senate bill to establish agricultural
experiment stations In connection with
agricultural colleges was taken up as un-
finished business.
Senator Ingalls, characterized the bill as
exceedingly crude and imperfect. 1t was
one of that great category OF measures
that were presented in Congress In obedi-
ence to the clamor OF certain class Of
self.constituted reformers Of all the insti-
tutions Of the earth. 1t was based on an
entire misapprehension OF the theory OF
the government and illustrated the ten
dency Of that class of agitators to demand
continual interposition of the national
government in state, local, and domestic
affairs with the result of absolutely destroy
ing the independence and freedom OF In
dividual conduct, and subverting the
theory on which the government was based.
Mr.. Vest said that he could not under
stand the difference between this measure
and the Blair education bill, except that the
one provided for general education and the
other for agricultural education. The OBJ
jections to the Blair bill applied with equal
force to this bill. He had been glad to hear
the senator from Kansas declare his oppo-
sition to the perpetually recurring legisla-
tlon that wanted to strike down all distinc-
tions between federal and state power.
There were some distinctions still existing
between federal and state power; and Que of
them was the fundamental distinction that
the states had the exclusive control over
education.
Mr.. Butler said that he could see wide
distinction between the bill which was Of
fered and the Blair educational bill. 1t was
refreshing to hear the sentiments expressed
by the senators from Kansas and Missouri
(Messrs. Ingalls, and Vest) after the action
of the Senate In the oleomargarine bill
destroying one industry at the dictation Of
another-and on the interstate commerce
bill, the pleuropneumonia bill, and the
Blair educational bill. He had derived
great comfort from the sentiments expressed
by those two senators. They had filled him
with pleasure and encouragement for the
future. But II Congress were going on
questionable ground he preferred to go in
direction that would be beneficial to the
farmers.
Without action on the bill or on any of
the pending amendments the Senate, at
$40, adjourned.

THE MARKETS.
The Arrangement Between Richmond

Railronda

Railroads.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE stock market to-
day, while only moderately active except for
two stocks, showed an unusual amount Of ir-
regularity and feverishness due to the conflict
ing effects Of different causes. The market
showed frmness early in the day, which is due
to the purchases for foreign account and the
strength of the London market. The room
traders freely covered their shorts, nut on the
other hand liquidation of several long nc.
counts prevented any material advance. The
Richmond and West Point stocks and the ne
day, and were weak when the remainder of
the list were firm: This was at first attributed
to manipulation, but later, upon on the ann announce
tors had authorized the issue of 81 900 900 new
common stock and SS.500.000 collateral trust
bonds, the decline, was accelerated, and the
room traders turned bears, carrying down the
remainder of the list in sympathy.
The rates for sterling exchange were also ad-
yanced upon an increased demand and
many fumors afoat on the street which were
used to depress prices. all of which lacked con-
frmation. The most important Of these was one
to the effect that the arrangement between the
Richmond and West Point and East Tennessee
had been stopped by an injunction. There
was a somewhat better feeling late In the after
noon, but the rally was for fractions only.
Reading and Jersey Central were both active
and firm in the face of generally weak mar
ket upon good good buying from outside
sources.
There was some improvement in the last
hour, and the market with the exception of
Richmond and West Point, closed about

reached.
